To Evaluate Winter
Wheat Top-Drei sing
During this season of the year,
many farmers ask the question,
does winter wheat need fertilizing?
According to Extension
agronomists, topdressing with
fertilizer may or may not be a good
idea. There are several things that
should be considered before
making the decision.
In the first place, do not topdress
winter wheat with a fertilizer that
contains nitrogen if the wheat is to
be overseeded with clover or
alfalfa. Nitrogen causes heavy
growth of wheat which may
smother out the new seeding. Now
the winter wheat fields that have
come through the winter thin,
should be topdressed. Use only a
straight nitrogen fertilizer, such as
urea. Topdressing winter wheat
with phosphate or potash fer
tilizers have not given any in
creased wheat yields.
Apply the nitrogen fertilizer in
early spring at the rate of 30-40
pounds of actual nitrogen per acre.
To Provide Farm Security
Thefts and vandalism on farms
is on the increase. This is very
difficult to prevent because of the
various items around the farm
building and home; also, the
number of buildings and places to
enter are many. However, we
suggest that every farmer take

some steps in protecting this
machinery, tools, livestock and
supplies. The automatic lights that
come on at dusk and go off at dawn
should be of real value in
discouraging burglars. There are
also many new sensing devices
that detect movement around the
premise.
Watch dogs are also very useful
in detecting strangers around the
property. Shops, garages and other
smaller buildings should be kept
locked when possible. The iden
tification of animals by tags,
branding, and photographs is very
helpful. It is also a good idea to
mark all machinery and tools with
a permanent identification
number. The best number to use is
your drivers license number
preceded by DL PA (Drivers
License, Pennsylvania).
Remember, social security
numbers are non-retnevable, so
it’s best not to use it. Farm thefts
are on the increase and farmers
should take steps to protect their
property.
